It's over 30 years since the iconic, BAFTA award-winning film, based on the novel by Booker prize-winning author Roddy Doyle. The score, packed with soul music classics, is a timeless one but will the musical, directed by Andrew Linnie, live up to it?
The story centres on Jimmy Rabbitte, played by James Killeen, and the impressive soul band he puts together from a group of Dublin amateur musicians, 'The Commitments'.
We sit in on a series of amusing band auditions before Jimmy finally finds the musicians who fit his vision, along with obnoxious, diva-ish singer Deco.
